memory utilization by plasmashell

Hey

Today, after an update, (13th November), I found the memory utilization of the plasmashell is about 2 GB. It was never the case before. I am running a KDE Neon 5.11.3 and is fully updated.

I am not running any custom packages etc. Attached is the screenshot. Let me know if you need any trace etc and the commands to run the same. Will be happy to share the details. Right now the desktop has become un-usable as it has become quite slow.

Cheers 
Kedar

Issue seems to have fixed. Looks like openshot was the culprit. I uninstalled it  and gave the machine a restart and since then it is working as usual.

I also changed from the onboard display card to ATI / Radeon display card. The performance has since improved dramatically. Can see that the displays don't lag any more. I guess it was more of a display card issue for me.

Cheers
